Chapter 109: Misstep
Xu Han took a step with everyone and walked towards the top of Longyin Mountain.
Everyone was silent along the way, and from the various strange things they had seen at the bottom of the mountain before, they knew very well that this so-called trial was not simple.
There was obviously no point in simply rushing, so they didn't use half a cent of true essence for hurrying, but instead activated around their bodies to prevent any possible changes.
Xu Han took this opportunity to walk to Yan Shu's side, and he also learned about the strangeness of this trial from Yan Shu's mouth, and also knew about the existence of Guanglin Ghost. Xu Han's face showed a different color at that time, Yan Qi looked at it in his eyes, thinking of the strange state of Fang Ziyu and Chu Qiuli before, he was a little curious in his heart, so he asked Xu Han what the origin of this little monk was.
Xu Han naturally didn't mean to hide it, and was about to tell the truth.
But at this moment, the scene at the mountain gate changed, and everyone, including Yan Shu, disappeared at that time.
When the words came to his mouth, Xu Han, who was about to spit it out, was stunned, and quickly came back to his senses.
"Illusion?" he said to himself, and he stood still in thought for a moment, then the boy smiled calmly, and continued on the empty staircase.
In a flash, the situation of a hundred breaths passed, and Xu Han walked all the way, except for not seeing everyone, there seemed to be nothing unusual on this mountain road. Although Xu Han is not a person who likes to travel in the mountains and rivers, nor does he have the ability of those literati and ink writers, but walking here, his mood is a little smoother.
But this comfort was broken by a groan of pain after a few breaths.
An old woman appeared on the stone steps not far away, she sat on the ground and covered her knees, and her clothes were torn at the knees, and the exposed places were covered with blood.
Xu Han saw the old woman, and the old woman was also on Xu Han, she hurriedly beckoned to Xu Han, and said in her mouth: "Young man, on the way down the mountain, the old man accidentally stepped on the air and fell to the ground, you are doing well, help the old man, my family lives at the foot of the mountain..."
Xu Han surprisingly didn't reach out to help the old man at the first time, he stopped where he was, and looked the old man up and down with a strange expression.
The old woman seemed to be a little uncomfortable by Xu Han, and she said again: "Young man, you can help the old man, look at my age..."
The old woman's pleading words didn't seem to have a good effect, Xu Han still stood in place, looking at her strangely, but he didn't mean to help at all.
The old woman was still pleading, and her miserable appearance was naturally extremely pitiful.
But after Xu Han looked at it, he suddenly smiled slightly, and actually took a step and continued to walk towards the top of the mountain, ignoring the pleading voice coming from behind him.
Soon Xu Han met a lost child again, crying loudly on the mountain road, Xu Han stopped and watched for a while, and then walked away again.
Not only that, but as he continued to advance towards the top of the mountain, such scenes became more and more endless, such as girls being chased by gangsters, men bitten by monsters, elk trapped on mountain cliffs, and goats falling into wolves......
These sights are so frequent that they are almost impossible to come across without a short distance.
But Xu Han ignored these as always, he watched the girl being torn off her clothes and pressed to the ground, the man being bitten to pieces by the monster, the elk falling off the cliff, and the goat turning into the stomach of the wolves.
He traveled all the way, behind the bloody and carnage shop, but he never stopped after stopping for a while.
This situation continued unanimous until the outline of the top of the mountain appeared in Xu Han's eyes.
At that time, the bright spring light suddenly dissipated, and two figures suddenly appeared in front of Xu Han's eyes.
One was a young man of his age, on all fours, the blood vessels under the skin of his body were protruding, and his body was full of demonic energy, and his mouth couldn't stop wailing: "Xiao Han! save me! Save me! I don't want to become a monster!!"
And the other was a woman who fell in a pool of blood, her eyes were wide open, staring at Xu Han deadly, as if she was unwilling and reluctant.
The appearance of these two scenes made Xu Han's face change, he stopped again, staring at the two figures with gloomy eyes for a long time, and then took a step, as always, past them and continued to walk towards the top of the mountain.
This time, he was soon at the end of the mountain road.
There was a bright circle of light, and there was a figure standing in front of the aperture, the figure looked at Xu Han with a smile, Xu Han was stunned, and felt that the person in front of him looked a little familiar, but soon he reacted, and the person in front of him was himself.
Xu Han, who understood this, did not show too much surprise, he stood still at that time, looked at the figure in front of him who was exactly the same as himself, and said in a low voice: "It seems that I passed." ”
That Xu Han nodded, did not deny Xu Han's speculation, he looked at Xu Han with interest, and suddenly asked, "I'm very interested, why can you be so decisive and turn a blind eye to those people." ”
Xu Han responded: "They are illusions. ”
In fact, this answer is not difficult to speculate, Longyin Temple has already sealed the mountain for today's sword-wielding people, how can so many ordinary people appear here? As long as you think about it for a while, this answer is about to come out.
Not only did Xu Han think that those good players in the rivers and lakes who participated in this sword holding competition, but anyone with some brains, could also come to such a conclusion.
The phantom who was exactly the same as Xu Han smiled when he heard this, and said: "How about the phantom, but after all, this is the first round of tests in the Sword Pavilion, maybe the purpose of the existence of these phantoms is to test whether you can have a good heart, hoe the strong and help the weak." If they choose to abandon it because they are illusions, they may lose the qualification to hold the Sword Pavilion Dabi. ”
There is nothing wrong with the phantom's statement, in fact, most of the contestants have faced such a choice, and when they can't make up their minds, they choose to help those illusions, and then endless troubles will arise from this, such as the first woman, send her down the mountain, you will find that the children of the family have been taken away by the bandits, and if you go to save his children, you will find that the bandits are actually demons in disguise, and if you capture the living people and sacrifice them, you will be retaliated by the demons if you destroy the bandits' stronghold...
In short, if you don't stop in time, the trouble will become more and more, and it will become bigger and bigger, and Luo Mo, the powerhouse of the Great Yan Realm, was defeated by the powerful illusion derived from it, and finally ended up being eliminated.
In the face of this illusion question, Xu Han's answer was the same as before, without the slightest change: "They are illusions." ”
With that, the young man took a step forward and wanted to leave, but the phantom moved his body and blocked Xu Han's way, but his eyes were still looking at Xu Han with interest.
Xu Han shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and could only say again: "Since we all know that it is an illusion, and we also understand that it is a trial, if we test good and evil in this way, is the good and evil obtained really the real thing? Even a person who is extremely vicious can disguise himself as a good person in such a situation, I believe that no matter how stupid the pavilion master who holds the Sword Pavilion is, he will not come up with such a way to test us." ”
Speaking of this, Xu Han paused, but found that the phantom in front of him twitched slightly when he heard Xu Han's last two words, Xu Han saw it in his eyes, but he didn't break it, and simply continued: "So, I think this is not so much a test of good and evil, but a test of the monk's heart." ”
"Can you stick to your own heart, can you keep your true self? ”
Hearing the illusion of such an answer, he nodded clearly, and he said: "You are very smart, much smarter than those self-righteous masters of the rivers and lakes. The phantom did not hesitate to say beautiful words, and his body retreated to the side at that time, signaling Xu Han to leave.
Xu Han did take a step at that time, but just as he was about to step out of the aperture with one foot, he seemed to suddenly remember something, turned his head to look at the phantom and asked, "Then what are the last two illusions?"
The Phantom shrugged his shoulders and smiled kindly like a spring breeze on his face, "Very few people can completely dismiss those sights, I thought there was nothing in this world that could soften your heart, you know, such people are generally the most terrifying." So that illusion is a special treat from me, well... You hesitated for a hundred and thirteen breaths, and I was satisfied. ”
Hearing this, Xu Han's brows furrowed, he stared at the illusion for a long time, and suddenly stretched out his finger and pointed to a certain part of the illusion, before he said, "Pavilion Master, it's time for you to lose weight." ”
Ignoring the vision's response, the boy stepped into the circle of light with one step, and his body disappeared completely.
The phantom was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then looked down at where Xu Han was pointing.
There was under the same clothes as Xu Han, but her belly was slightly bulging, like a pregnant woman who was pregnant with Liujia. The phantom's face turned red, and he was stunned for a long time before he spit out a word: "Mistake!"
